@AbhijeetChib Can you check the user settings and check the thousand separator configured properly ?

Hello @binu_acs 

 

Thanks for your response - The thousand separator is fine. 

Sometimes in the input files i get Amount in both formats 

123456789 as well as 1,234,567.89 and 1.234.567,89\

 

Need to ensure they all are separated by , in thousands and .in decimal

Thank you that works but i cant understand, would you be kind enough to break it down. 

For example what is the first condition that you are checking 

 

Sorry if i sound stupid.

@AbhijeetChib the amount ending with decimal doesn’t need any update , the first condition checks whether the amount ending with decimal ( the RIGHT() will take the last 3 character then the LEFT () function check the first chat from left is a decimal or not) , if not ending with decimal then apply the formatting
